My copy has the phrase Hell Yeah Timbo scratched into the matrix - does anybody else have this

Tujar

Jon Hassell's debate put aside, this is a great 2xLP compilation, there's actually a lot of music here and absolutely nothing to throw away. I can imagine if your are a fan of minimal ambiant drone whatever bullshit you will be disappointed, this can be too organic and rich for your cold soul.

Levion

I'm with Origamihirn, a lot of the stuff on this left me cold (horses for courses, natch), and didn't particularly strike me as being in the spirit of John Hassell's Fourth World aesthetic. For me a lot of this stuff crosses the line into naffer New Age tropes and synth-flute-isms, and if there's something that the last few years have taught us, it's that there's plenty of great New Age stuff that manages to transcend the stigma around the tag. There are a handful of really great tunes, but too much skippable stuff (particularly the more overtly tabla/conga led stuff, ugh) for me to want to hang onto it on vinyl. I'll stick with playlisting the best bits on Spotify for this one personally.

Wicked comp ten out of fucking ten ten ten ten

Great Great Release! I love every single track! Great work!But has anyone else a lot of crackling and background noise on c/d especially side d??

Hellstaff

Hey, I've not noticed this on my copies. If you picked it up from a local shop try and see if you can return it for a different copy. That's all the advice I can offer. Sorry about this!

Jaberini

Honestly, i don't think this got the feel of fourth world. Europeans tend to see it a bit flat in that sense - anything with a little marimba and tribal repetetive is fourth world... Sadly not.. it's about the magic realism and post-erotic moods, more than anything, and if you listen to Jon Hassell speak about it it's pretty evident. Great ethnic ambient release, but far from fourth world. Excuse the purism, but if there's one thing in the world that still challenges me with its abstract yet material is this, and it's a pity people are so quick to put labels on something that doesn't even fit the label.

Rude

I couldn’t agree more. While the music is worthy of a listen, and some of the tracks are definitely enjoyable...this is simply not fourth world music as the originators intended. Fourth World music is one of those odd instances where the sub-genre was actually defined by those at its point of origin, as opposed to being defined later on by a music journalist. These tracks all fit well within other particular genres, but they are too loose to fit within such a beautiful, well-defined sound as fourth world.

Wild Python

I'd like to think the scope of this compilation goes beyond 'a little marimba and tribal reptetive'. While I welcome your opinion, I would like to point out that musical genres and their associated categories/terminologies (let's take 'ethnic ambient', for instance) are often used as theoretical guidelines and not as concrete stipulations of sound. This compilation was intended to be the work of two people speculating on the notion of Fourth World and assembling pieces of music which they felt fell in line with Hassell's work. This is not meant to be a rigorously academic package which only comprises of music which adheres to the exact rules of Hassell's initial proposition, rather a look into music which borders on its peripheral. I would also like to address the 'magical realism' and 'post-erotic moods' which you speak of. Surely such phrases convey a distinct sense of subjectivity? Both seem to describe something beyond musical formula, feelings and moods are evoked that may vary from listener to listener, but perhaps I'm wrong. This is a field of great interest to me, so I'd be happy to discuss this further in private. Feel free to send me a message explaining why Europeans see this concept differently, and what exactly seperates 'ethnic ambient' from fourth world.

Once again, this was available for pre-order at my fav record store. Once again, they have failed to deliver. Perhaps it's time for a change.

Uscavel

Thanks. I ordered from somewhere else, so no worries there.

Abandoned Electrical

Sorry to hear that. The repress is now out in shops and should stick around a while. There is also a third repress for a further five hundred copies due later in the year.

Ddilonyne

Sold out at distro, but still available at retail price from select shops. Repress coming soon, so don't pay over the odds!
